What would be true about the role of collecting duct in the concentration of urine by the kidneys?
I: Allows passage of small amounts of urea into the medullary interstitium
II: Large amounts of water could be reabsorbed from this part to produce a concentrated urine.

ADH:
I: is released when an excessive loss of fluid from the body activates osmoreceptors in the body.
II: prevents dieresis by facilitating water reabsorption from the initial and proximal parts of the tubules.
